The Fell
External Greenhouse Shade

The Fell greenhouse shade is recommended to optimise heat and light level control within the glasshouse.  Fitted externally, between the glasshouse ridge and gutter, the shade reduces light intensity and therefore plant scorch, and helps to keep temperatures down in the heat of summer.  A spring-loaded aluminium roller keeps the shade under permanent tension and a pulley system enables the shade to be operated easily at ground level.  The system also prevents the shade moving in the wind.

The commercial quality shading material is a polyolefin-based fabric, which is interwoven with thin aluminium strips to give 65% shading.  Being reflective, it is an excellent heat deflector in summer.
